Success Story
Industry: Metal & Steel
Region: Northwestern PA
Cost Savings: $36,075
Problem
The customer called with a breakdown situation. In order to get back up and running, they needed a pillow block KHP208-40mm.
Solution
While ErieTec didn’t have that specific pillow block bearing in stock, we asked a little more about the breakdown and discovered that it was only the housing that had broken. We did have in stock an IPTCI housing that took a similar insert. The customer brought in the broken part and we were able to make it operational again by taking the customer’s insert and putting it in the new IPTCI housing.Contact Us
Savings Calculation
Without our quick solution, they would have been down for 24 hours (at least) before getting the proper part. Because we asked the right questions and were able to improvise to solve their problem, we saved them $1,500/hour in downtime x 24 hours = $36,000 + $75 in shipping fees.
You need to find a solution immediately when you have a breakdown. We can help! Contact us when something goes wrong, and we’ll find the right solution for your budget and time constraints. Even better, call us before the breakdown, and we’ll help you prevent downtime with proactive changes to your operations. Because of these changes, you’ll be more productive and more profitable. ErieTec wants to save you more – by selling you less.
